Persnickety Promotions adds in house custom imprinting, vinyl and rhinestone production

Nothing says a “Job well done” when you hand off 400+ t-shirts for our local middle school for their field trip. With the help of our newly acquired tools and fast learning of the machines, Persnickety Promotions is proud to showcase some of our most recent projects. For the front of the shirt, we were asked to create artwork that encompassed a good chunk of what the kids would see/ do in Washington D.C. while still being fun and colorful. I think it was an overall success. In addition, we had to give an easy way for the kids to be identified even if they weren’t facing their teachers and chaperones, so we took the school’s mascot and the class colors and viola, colorful functional lion markers! These shirts were created with the help of our heat press and vinyl printer.

For the Sparkle, Glitter, and Gem Lovers

There are so many applications for more fun printing processes and we found just a few. Whether you’re a sport parent looking to support your child’s team or a coach looking for something new, we have just the thing! Our sparkle vinyl not only comes in many different colors (blue shown above) but it also holds well to the fabric preventing any unwanted extra glitter. This was so fun we made a few extra for ourselves! Our rhinestone printer features a plethora of different sizes and shapes with more than 10 colors to choose from.

Our abilities to create custom apparel has given us (and you) the options of having projects done in a quicker time and at a great price! Our “Direct-to-Garmet” (DTG) printer has become a new member to the team and we can’t wait to bring in new clients with it.

Finding the perfect ideas and items for customer, client and staff events and promotions

Ah Spring is finally in the air. In the northeast we are tickled pink that we didn’t get smashed with major snow storms.

So I’m thinking what type of branded items do we like to present to clients for various customer appreciation gifts, trades how give aways and most of all that all important company picnic.

Well first off I start thinking of brightly colored items. We need some color after the dreary effects of winter. Since April showers lead to May flowers, a great giveaway especially to great repeat customers is an umbrella. An umbrella never goes out of style. It has great space for a logo. You can get foldable umbrellas or full size umbrellas. We also carry some beautiful branded golf umbrellas. Our firm just did a beautiful 64″ Slazenger golf umbrella for a corporate client gift.

To see more information on this pretty colorful travel umbrella visit:

We recently supplied a company retreat to Florida with these great imprinted sun glasses. We did them in a Royal blue and Black combination with a white imprint. Sunglasses are great for all types of events. They are great for beach parties, corporate parties, give aways at sunny location trade shows. We also do a lot of sunglasses for weddings.

The above are a nice solid color retro type imprintable sunglass. I have linked below the sister sunglass that is also very popular. They coming in a multiple of colors, some come in two tone shades with either a matte or gloss finish.

My assistant loves this durable 3-piece food storage set that serves both as a lunch box and salad shaker. She always brings it to the office with her snack of fruit. You can pack fruit in it and it comes with a fork (in various colors I might add) a place to put yogurt in the top (or granola, nuts whatever) so that if you want a little snack in the car or wherever you are going, it is a quick and easy. It features a large main compartment, small compartment for milk, dressing or other condiments that easily sits and stores in lid and hidden storage slot for fork. Made of food grade polypropylene plastic. Disposable plastic fork included to match accent color. Small compartment holds up to 2 Oz./4 TBSP. Main compartment holds up to 4 Cups/1 L. Main compartment lid screws on. Dishwasher safe. Microwave safe.

Especially perfect for a deli, grocery store, yogurt or health health food / vitamin shop, school promotion, corporate health promotion etc. Makes a great purchase with purchase and keeps you name in front of your customer.

To find out more about the above 3 piece storage container see out link below:

One of the things I love in the summer is a honest to good beach bag. It doesn’t have to be expensive but it has to be perfect for getting the kids around to and from the beach or something that will be durable enough to withstand wet towels and other items that they happen to bring with them on their quest for fun in the sun. A good beach bag are perfect for company picnic give aways, destination wedding favors, perfect for beach and pool clubs, team trips, etc.

Three of our absolute favorites are below. To the left we have a roomy canvas bag, in the middle a wonderful poly rope and mesh bag (we did these for a company picnic a year ago and they were a huge hit) and lastly one of my favorites the beach sand bag. Keeps all your items clean by allowing the sand to get out of the bag.

Another great item for summer fun is a beach chair. They can be go from beach to the soccer field with ease. This particular one below can be imprinted on the head pillow. We have others that can be imprinted on the back. Some more expensive models have arm rests and cup holders as well. We just love this one as it is light weight, comes in fun sunny colors and has a pillow for your head. These again are great for getting your brand out. A great gift with purchase for upscale summer items, also perfect to company picnic gifts.

Our last two items for summer imprinted fun are a great beach ball and a cold drink coozie. These items are great for any promotion or get together. Kids LOVE beach balls. We also have done a package of beach balls with water bottles which have always been a winning combination. We love the ease of a coozie as an imprinted promotional product. They will keep your beverage cold and get your message out in front of your audience.

These are just a few of the many fabulous items we can create for your branding summer needs. Need something different. Want to ask about new items or have us look for something special. Contact us at :

Let's tell you what is up in our "fussy" promotional world

Hi I’m Denise Buzy-Pucheu Owner of Persnickety Promotions. I am so happy to finally get to putting together a blog for one of our promotional business. We do have one for our event and bridal subsidiary The Persnickety Bride and that blog has been up and helping event clients in choosing the right product for their special events.

Although we try to add as much information of the promotional business on our Facebook page, I hope to be able to expand upon the reasons, benefits, and long term impression branding that advertising specialties offer to our clients. I also hope to give other potential clients ideas for reaching new customers and helping to see the return on investment that a good branding program can do for their business or organization.

Our parent company, DBP & Associates, Inc. is celebrating this year it’s 25th year in business. I can’t tell you how proud I am to say that we have reached this quarter of a century mark. I’m also happy that we have stayed “relevant” and “essential” parts of the sales team of a couple of large publishing houses and have maintained great working relationships with our specialty retailers.

I started Persnickety Promotions about 15 years ago. Initially it was created to help us source products for our clients in the publishing and music industry when they had new book and record launches. Over the years, we added on many other types of businesses as clients.

I had the opportunity to work in the advertising specialty business out of college and called on many accounts in the Westchester, NY and lower Connecticut area. At the time I handled General Food, Beiersdorf (manufacturers of Nivea products) Gaines Dog food and other advertising agencies and mid size businesses.

Although the business has changed with the availability of shopping on line, there still is such a need for clients to ask questions and consult on what would be the best products to meet their needs. I consider my firm to be a small version of an ad agency for many of our clients. When they are looking for a branding program we take our time to really find out what our clients are looking to receive out of the program.

Is it a gift with purchase to keep their brand in front of their purchasing client? Is it a sales call gift for a new client or a new business opening item to put their name in front of potential clients? Or it could be an organization having an event or a 5K run.

It doesn’t matter what the need is, it matters that we can hone in on what is the right product, at the right price and delivered on time to meet the client’s needs. We work closely at what our clients are trying to achieve and then work with them to monitor results.

Just recently we received a Milestone award from the Promotional Products International Association for our continued service to our clients and our dedication to the industry.

I hope that you will come and view the blog from time to time, get ideas, contact us when you need promotional products and apparel. We have clients all over the country and work hard to get the best prices for our clients (we belong to a super buying group so we CAN be competitive) our service is fabulous (read our reviews on our testimonial page) and visit our website when you get a moment at Persnickety Promotions

Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting our page. I look forward to creating a blog with terrific ideas and content that helps you out in whatever branding projects you have in the near future!
